Women’s Equality Day is more than a historic milestone—it’s a call to action. At true. Women’s Health, we believe that equity in healthcare is foundational to equity in ALL aspects of women’s lives, including careers, families, and communities.

For too long, women’s health in midlife and menopause has been overlooked. We’re working hard to change that by providing care that is comprehensive, personalized, and grounded in respect for women’s voices and experiences. Women deserve to be seen AND supported. 💙

Experiencing changes in your s*x drive? You’re not alone.

Many women come to us feeling frustrated by a lack of desire—sometimes even in relationships with a strong history of intimacy and satisfaction. It’s very common to notice shifts in libido during and after menopause.

Our providers prioritize these conversations and offer a wide range of tools, resources, and treatment options designed to help you feel like yourself again! You don’t have to navigate this alone—let’s talk about what’s possible.

Last week, true.'s Dr. Diana Bitner had to undergo an emergency appendectomy. This week, she shared her story with Janice Allen FOX 17 to help raise awareness.

💡 Takeaway Tip: The best way to stay healthy is to know your body and have a trusted medical team ready to act when something feels off.

Appendicitis affects 1 in 15 women, but many experience delays in diagnosis because symptoms often overlap with ovarian cysts, endometriosis, and IBS. A delay of just 12–24 hours can lead to complications like infection and longer hospital stays.

Know the signs:
- Belly pain that moves to the lower right side
- Low appetite, nausea, or vomiting
- Pain when jumping or hitting a bump in the road
- Low-grade fever

Early diagnosis saves lives—whether it’s appendicitis, cancer, or another serious condition. 💙 Hear more about Dr. Bitner's story and watch her conversation with Janice here: https://bit.ly/3VbaChu

Most women don’t realize there are actually three phases: Reproductive, Perimenopause, and Menopause. Understanding which phase you are in helps healthcare providers determine your risk of preventable illnesses such as diabetes or heart disease, as well as how to approach treatment plans and preventative care options. Knowledge is power - so know your Phase of Ovarian Function!

August is National Wellness Month — and this week, Dr. Diana Bitner joined Janice Allen FOX 17 to discuss a topic many women overlook: the barriers that hinder their health.

Too often, we see these barriers as “excuses” and feel ashamed, but the truth is they are real challenges — whether it’s time, energy, access to healthy food, or community support. Recognizing and naming these barriers is the first step toward overcoming them! Small, practical solutions can make wellness achievable for everyone!

Redesigning the Pelvic Exam with Special Guest, Dr. Tracy Bennett, CMO of Ceek Women’s Health.

With more than 20 years of experience in women’s health medical devices, Dr. Bennett is here to talk about how her work is transforming the experience of pelvic exams, making them more comfortable, respectful, and accessible for all women, including patients at true.
